Bangkok reimagined

Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 23/09/2022

» You may already have heard of Bangkok being compared to Blade Runner made real, given our neon signs, skyscrapers, dingy alleys, huge billboards, elevated motorways and busy roads. Flaws and all, Bangkok has inspired many artists to reimagine it in their own way, shining a different light on our beloved capital city. Its unique aesthetic has captured the imagination of many artists and filmmakers, and Guru has compiled a few noteworthy reimaginations of Bangkok for your entertainment.

Couch surfing

» Most of us dream of walking down the aisle -- the airplane one -- and the awkwardness that comes with trying to find your seat while avoiding people putting their bags in the overhead bins.

New kid on the block

Life, Published on 23/03/2021

» When Thai virtuoso rapper Nuttawut Srimok, better known as Golf F. Hero, realised that he had no notable song after working in the music industry for almost two decades, he decided to produce and release his first album, Into The New Era, in 2019. The seven-track album featured catchy high-quality songs and was an outstanding achievement that won him multiple prizes -- best artist and best album -- at Season Awards. By working hard, the rapper produced songs that music enthusiasts could sing along with at live concerts such as Suea Sin Lai (A Stripeless Tiger), Jam Keng (Slipped Your Mind) and Jam Loey Rak (Defendant Of Love).

» Everyone loves a good conspiracy. There's a reason why Netflix has a bunch of them ready for you to binge like Unsolved Mysteries, which will rock you to your core at just how completely plausible they are and how they could easily happen to any of us.

Home improvement

Guru, Kankanok Wichiantanon, Published on 17/04/2020

» There are many services and products that we are used to using outside our homes, which we no longer have access to. However, people adapt to changes and most of those services and products can be enjoyed in the comfort of the great indoors. They include absolute essentials, such as hardware needed for work and items to entertain yourself like VR headsets, as well as beauty services. Guru has listed a few such things.

Welcoming a new decade!

Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/01/2020

» For those of you who may have missed it, we are in a new decade. Yes, you read that right. No, you are not hallucinating. Yes, we are all old. Welcome to the beginning of the 2020s where films like Back To The Future and Blade Runner are not just classics but the future worlds depicted in them are now effectively in the past; where years like 2050 and 2060 no longer sound ridiculous like they did back in the early 2000s and where those born in 2000 are 20 years old. It's a lot to take in, that's for sure. With every new year also comes the declarations of "New year, new me" posted all over social media and vocally announced at dinner tables everywhere. Resolutions are made and kept for a good two weeks or so before being thrown out the window. So instead of trying to expect things to happen that we aren't even sure will happen, let's take a look at the stuff that we're fairly certain will happen this year. Here's a couple of things to look forward to this 2020.

Made in Thailand

Guru, Published on 05/07/2019

» To say that Thailand has been getting global recognition lately may be a bit of an understatement. After all, it's not a secret that it's a famous tourist destination with plenty of beautiful beaches and street food that's been topping lists for years now. Of course, these are only just a few things Thailand is well-known for but we don't really have the time to get into all of that (*cough* rigged election *cough*). However, people from the outside may have a narrow view of what Thailand and its culture really is, but fortunately, there are things that help put a spotlight on these things. The next instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise is filming right now in parts of Thailand, including Krabi where its governor stated that the film would be a "great advertisement for the nature, culture and history of the kingdom". Erm sure, that's what the Fast and Furious franchise is all about anyway. While the film will most likely be more about cars zoom-zooming and vroom-vrooming, there are a number of shows on TV that give a better focus on Thai culture. Here are a few.
